PESHAWAR: The officials on Friday foiled a bid to smuggle nephrite in Mohmand district and arrested an accused. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mines and Minerals Department confiscated semi-expensive mineral “nephrite” in its operation at the Prang Ghar tehsil of the Mohmand district, said an official communiqué.
The operation was carried out by royalty inspectors Muhammad Shahzad and Sajid of Mines and Minerals Department on prior intelligence information. After the successful operation, the police arrested the driver of the dumper and lodged a first information report against him.
